Annotation:

In the current paper, computer modeling of a distribution of electromagnetic fields and eddy currents in the soil caused by high frequency (≥100 kHz) electromagnetic radiation is reviewed. Results then will be used for creating a new type of detection system, more specifically a system that can detect voids in the soil, where non-metallic landmines and other explosives can be potentially placed. Experience and knowledge gained during the work on this project will be helpful for solving geophysical problems. The results will have international importance for demining areas mined during regional conflicts and hostilities. The next stages of the current project will make an important contribution to the development of demining technologies. The current thesis consists of an introduction and four chapters: a problem, methods, modelling and results, and conclusion. Each of the chapters consists of subchapters. The introduction includes an overview of the problem discussed in the thesis and its actuality, existing systems and methods. The first chapter describes the problem and tasks. The second chapter describes methods and software used for modeling. The third chapter of the thesis describes work done on modeling of eddy currents. Lastly, the four chapter of the current thesis includes a conclusion. Results and programming codes are available in the Supplemental Section of the current thesis.
